Dawson County commissioners approved a retail package alcohol license for Arish Business LLC, doing business as Harmony Food Mart, at 1128 Harmony Church Road in Dawsonville.

The board member asking those questions added that ordinance changes to create a cap were under consideration.

Commissioner Stowers moved to approve the license; Commissioner Bruce seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote.

The approval allows the licensee to sell malt beverages and wine in package form at the specified address, subject to standard state and county licensing requirements.
